He had given directions that the precepts should be issued for the annual election of constables in the ordinary way, but with the understanding that the constables elected according to the Act of George 11. were not likely to be called upon to act.—(Hear.) The Court would agree with him, that as the measure, the efficacy of which they were about to test, was a new measure, it would be imprudent to reduce the number of constables, in the event of any unforeseen result.

And yet have we the impertinence to remonstrate with the French Government because it purposes to put an additional duty on the importation of British linens!

We Uerceive that this evening the performances at the Haymarket Theatre are for the benefit of Mr. Sheridan Knowles, the popular author of the Maid of ilfariendorpt, which will be repeated for the 40th time, with his admirable play of the Hunchback. We presume he has chosen Friday night to accommodate the Jews, who really owe him a good turn for his beautifully drawn cha racter of Joseph. After the play at the Theatre Royal Edinburgh, on Saturday night wee k, a M r . B ec k ett made his first ap pearance in a grotesque dance ; but he had scarcely com menced when a plank in the centre of the stage gave way, and he vanished instantaneously from the gaze of the audience. So neat and noiseless was this disappearance that it was much applauded by the audience, who were insisting on its repetition, when Mr. Murray came for ward and stated that it was entirely accidental, and that Mr. Beckett had narrowly escaped very serious injury, having fallen a distance of about 20 feet. We under. stand he is somewhat bruised, but not to such an extent as to prevent his re-appearance in a day or two. ELECTRICAL SOCIETY.—On Tuesday evening, at the ordinary meeting, a communication was read from Martin J. Roberts, Esq., on " the use of Galvanism in the blasting of rocks," detailing experiments attended with complete success, made on granite rocks in the neighbour hood of Penzance, Cornwall. The dangers and incon veniences of the common method of blasting are obviated, and a great increase of explosive power is obtained. The employment of galvanism for igniting the charge, and Mr. Roberts's new method of tamping, it is said, entirely re move all danger, considerably increase the explosive force, and at the same time effect a saving of half the quantity of gunpowder commonly used. The latter embracing also the application of the expansive force of air by increase of tem perature, is the new feature of Mr. Roberts's communica tion. A paper from W. Sturgeon, Esq., was also read, being an account of a repetition of Mr. R. W. Fox's ex periments, in which the camination of clay was effected by continued voltaic action. At the conclusion of the paper, in the discussion that ensued, it was stated that Mr. Crosse had repeated the experiment several times with success ; that a certain relation of the position of the poles of the battery to the magnetic meridian was believed necessary, and that probably this fact had been overlooked by Mr. Sturgeon. Several members undertook to conduct a se • parate experiment.—. Adjourned. s c a o y sequ the se iecle, " the eshimpugtointyonotsthobroe,ard the on Oc tober 22, between Beachy-head and Dungeness.

TO THE WORKING CLASSES. FELLOW WORKMEN -Eighty years ago the parish of Manchester contained only about 40,000 inhabitants. If at that time the landowners had obtained an Act of Par liament that no one in the parish should eat any bread that was not made from corn grown within its narrow bounds, it is clear, supp osin g the land could then produce only as m uch food as wo uld sustain the 40,000, that for every child s born there z u m st t b h e e toa fe s o u d bt o r f ac a t l i e on r , es. t the amount would of its have • :- been done by such an Act for the parish of Manchester h a s since been done for all England by the Corn-laws, which enact that a population of fourteen millions shall draw their food from the same quantity of land which for merly the la supported landowners scveerns tell y millions. ou But that, although you pay them a high price for their corn, they pay it . back to you again which I have So spoken. mtght the landownersThey mimight t o n u che m st a e k r e have said, if they had ob tained . inafaiovnbieuhm:e Downs said,tn parish buying the 0 t r h l,e,i your % g Esvo ooucioofrfd Manchester i y a, will ever see the colour would have been, potatoes, f not r s o e r nd i to the farmers on Bowdon us two loads ofit e ? rr moneyyeu are ag n a o i t u sure .,, thatTh The re y p o l u y potatoes '' Th e farmers for one pieceof Bowdon calico, Downs eud give you can have two bushe T ls he o r f e c p o ly rn is for a give us on l y one. " f o r q om ual t l h y e g A oo m d e n ri o e w an . falrfmweer piece of calico, and only one from the English farmer, the man would be a fool who did not trade with the former. But, say the landlords in return, " We are heavily taxed, and therefore we must have a high price for our corn." Our reply is that we are taxed as heavily as they are, and that it is not fair that we should be called upon to pay our own taxes and theirs into the bargain. The Corn-law makers have another plea—" You would not starve the farmers, would you ?" Our reply is that we distressed no w i s h to starve the farmers, or to h urt a h a i r o f their h ea d s. T o keep the farmers f rom starv i ng , a ll th e landlords have t o d o i s to R EDUCE THEIR RENTS. When M r .

The wisdom oE the English Governm en t c l osed that mar k et aga i ns t us, for in 1815, just when p eace h ad opene d t h e w h o le Continent to our c N o o m thi me n r a ce, the C orn l aw s were passed, and, as Spencer said, " wages have been falling in this countr y ever since." take th e else Frenchcould r h od av a e e e b , e en France expected, i s not f 0 r I i if k e w e N y , e to will takeno not English manufactures. The weaver there has wine at fivepence a bottle i but pane of it must come here because to buy a fustian jacket and a calico shirt, but having no money to give in exchange for them. Would not the parties come at once to an equitable and advantageous barter? Would not the weaver say, " Give me food and I will weave you some nice fustian or shirting ?" And what would both say if a third party stepped in and said, " You may go half naked, and you may be half starved, but I will not permit you to make the exchange !" Would they not be justified in knocking the intruder on the head ? Substitute the Atlantic for the brook, and the English landowner is the party which steps in to prevent the ex change which would feed the one and clothe the other ; and yet the working classes of England have hitherto sub mitted to the iniquitous intervention, scarcely uttering a word of complaint ! The landlords tell us that this would be trading with fo reigners. But who are these foreigners ?—John Cassiday is a weaver at Miles Platting. His son, Patrick Cassiday, has emigrated and bought a piece of land in Indiana. John Cassiday is thrown out of employment, and reduced to a fare of potatoes and salt. Patrick Cassiday has more wheat and Indian corn than he can eat or sell, and he throws the surplus to his barn-door fowls and his pigs, treating the latter moreover with a few bushels of pump kins and apples and peaches. The son wants clothing— the father wants food—but they cannot effect the change which would give comfort to both. The Eng lish landowner says that they shall not. He condemns the son to nakedness and the father to starvation. The case needs only to be extended, for it is as true in all cases as it is in one. Hundreds of thousands in England are con demned to insufficiency of food, and hundreds of thousands of the desendants of Englishmen in America aro con demned to insufficiency of clothing, because the land owners of England desire to keep up WAR RENTS. And yet do the half-starving multitudes of England submit, almost without a complaint, to the crying injustice! Fellow Workmen, let us be no longer blind to the cause of our being steeped to the lips in poverty. Let us attack the infamous monopoly which crushes us to the ground. Let us consider the waste of time and the waste of money in the various contests we have entered into upon Combi nation Laws, the Truck System, and Short Time Bills, and the failure of every such remedy for our distress. Let us no longer be carried away by schemes, of improveme n t which would ha ve no more e ff ect t h an the application of plaster to the leg when the whole body is in the progress of mortification. The disease is in the SYSTEM, and therej-". TION; kn. espe r tAX UPON BREAD. Let tur shoW that we understand the question better than our masters. The ignorant poor alone are not to blame for their apathy upon the question. The rich merchant and manufacturer are equally apathetic. Twelve or eighteen months ago the United States were in our debt to the amount of seven or eight millions sterling more than they could then pay. lad the importation of corn been permitted, they need not have owed us one farthing, and all the subsequent distress might have been prevented. And yet your merchants never moved so much as a little finger to prevent the calamity which then betel them. They are moving now. Let us move along with them. We shall now be involved in one common ruin, unless these laws be speedily repealed. We suffer now by the high price of provisions, but in a short time we shall suffer also by a deficiency of employment. Rival manufactures are rising up in every part of the world. Countries which once took our goods ceased to take goods, and then took coarse yarns to be woven at home. They then began to spin their own coarse yarns, and bought only the fine num bers from us. It was not long before they were able to spin fine numbers, and then they bought nothing but ma chinery. Latterly, instead of buying our machinery, they have been employing men from this country to make it for them ; and ere long they will not even require English workmen, for the Belgians are fast becoming first- rate ma chine -makers ! This is a history of our progress to ruin. Can any body doubt that wages would rise if we received in payment what other countries can spare of their agricul tural produce ? Yet we are sometimes told that if bread were cheap wages would fall. There cannot be greater nonsense than this assertion. If at one time I can have a dozen pounds of flour for 12 hours' labour, and flourshould rise so that I must work eighteen hours to have the same quantity, I must either eat less bread, or I must send out 50 per cent. more work ; and if I and my fellow-workmen did this, our wages would tumble down just the same as if for every twelve men out of employment on a particular kind of manufacture six more were to enter into competi tion with them. It is a fact ascertained, beyond all doubt, that when the price of corn rises wages do not rise in the same proportion, but often fall ; and that when corn falls in price wages do not fall in the same proportion, but often rise. Be in no fear that the farmers would be ruined by a re peal of the Corn-laws. With free trade in twenty-five years Manchester and all the surrounding towns within seven miles of its Exchange would be one great city. With free trade England, Ireland, and Scotland would be one great grazing and dairy farm, studded with thriving towns. With free trade Northern Europe and Northern America would be our corn fields—France, and Spain, and Portugal our vineyards. With free trade nations would convert the sword into plough-shares and spears into pruning hooks, and men would learn the art of war no more. Let us form everywhere associations to obtain the repeal of the accursed monopoly. Let us tell the Legislature that as it has refused to fix a minimum of wages, on the plea that labour should be allowed to find its own level, we shall no longer permit its interference to prevent the price of CORN from finding its level. A WORKING MAN. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ROGERS, THE HAT TON-GARDEN MAGISTRATE.---011 Tuesday last Mr. Rogers attended at the office and transacted the customary business apparently in his usual state of health. At its conclusion he returned to his residence at Hampstead in good spirits, and proceeded to the drawing-room, where he reclined on a sofa preparatory to taking dinner. Shortly afterwards he was discovered apparently asleep, but on endeavouring to arouse him it was ascertained that he was quite dead. Me dical assistance was immediately procured, but all efforts proved ineffectual to restore life. Mr. Rogers was about 6.5 years of age, and had fill e d the office of magi s t ra t e f or upwards of 20 years. He was originally a chamber ma gistrate, and was first appointed as a metropolitan magis trate at Lambeth -street Office, whence he was removed to Hatton-garden. He has left a family, who are grown up. At the inquest, which was held yesterday, the only addi tional parti3ulars elicited were that the deceased had for some time suffered severely from go ,t, although on the day spirits than his d ea th h e h ad appeased in better health and than 1131141, YeNiot--" Died by the visitatiQu of God THANKS TO THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Deputy CORNET felt great pleasure in proposing such a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor as he was con vinced would meet with unanimous approbation. He then moved the vote of thanks. Mr. HEPPEL seconded the motion ; which, after a few words from Mr. LOTT and Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR, was carried unanimously. A purse of fifty guineas w as unan i mously voted to the Rev. Mr. Da v i s , A.M., Chaplain to the late Lord Mayor. ABUSES IN THE COAL TRADE. The LORD Mavoapresented a petition from Mr. Thomas Bradfield, of Derby-street, Parliament -street. It stated that the unwise and unjust regulations adopted by the fac tors and buyers in the coal trade were in full operation at theroal-market, to the prejudice of the public, and the horrible oppression of the poor ; that for some time past there had been an abundant supply of coal in the port, notwithstanding. which the price had continued to advance upon the consumer ; that the number of coal-weighers was not sufficient for the discharge of the colliers, in conse quence of which vast numbers of ships were unable to un load, and the expense to the consumer became necessarily intolerable ; and that immediate measures ought to be re sorted to to facilitate the discharge of the cargoes by add ;lig; to the number Of weiters ; that tie. ro posed to be m a d e t h ree years ago by the corporation,p by which the collier ships in the port might be 180 instead of 147, and that there should be ten more weighers ap pointed, would, if carried into effect, destroy the existing monopoly, and that a great public advantage would inevit ably follow Mr. BRADFIELD, upon being asked whether he wished to add anything to his petition, begged to he allowed to say a few words. Since he had first appeared before the Lord Mayor to complain of the grievous abuses in the coal trade, several persims had attended at the Mansion house for the purpose of contradicting the statement he had made on the subject, and it was perfectly well known that those persons had failed in their object of casting dis credit upon what he had complained of. With respect to the assertion that he bored Lord Mayors there was no foundation whatever for that, and he would call upon Sir John Cowan, if he were present, to contradict that state ment so -fir as regarded himself, for he had never opened his lips to that Lord Mayor upon the subject. So much for the charges made by Alderman Copeland. A MEMBER—My Lord Mayor, I believe it is not the practice of this Court to allow any petitioner to " bani madwert" on the conduct of any of its Members.—(Hear, hear, and loud laughter.) The LORD MAYOR requested that Mr. Bradfield would adhere to the subject matter of his petition. Mr. BRADFIELD declared the contents of his petition were not only facts, but there were now in the river ac tually 150 colliers waiting for weighers, although their car goes were all sold. The Loan MAYOR understood the petitioner to state that a monopoly existed exceedingly injurious to the public interests, but whether it existed in London or in the North it was not precisely mentioned. Mr. BRADFIELD—My Lord, I mean to say that if you carry the by-laws of 1833 into effect, you will immensely serve your fellow-citizens and the whole public, who are grievously oppressed by the exorbitant price of coals, which are now 1 ls, a ton higher than they were in that year, and will, if you do not use your power, reach even a higher price by moans of the conspiracy. Mr. DIXON requested to know who the conspirators wore ?—(Cries of " No, no.") Does he mean that the coal-factors have conspired to keep up the price of coals ? The LORD MAYOR—I understood him to say that there were now 150 ships in the river, which cannot be unloaded although their cargoes arc purchased, because those who have it in their power to appoint weighers will appoint no mere than they think proper to appoint, and that the price of the article is thus kept up. Perhaps the best course to adopt with respect to the petition, is to refer it to the Coal and Corn Committee, with instructions to report upon it. Sheriff WOOD said that the weighers were appointed by the trade itself, and that the Court had no voice upon that subject. Mr. GALLOWAY said, if he understood the petitioner rightly, his object was to reduce the price of coals; to the consumer to something like a fair charge. He. (Mr. Gal- Anway) _certainly knew that .an -- extensivevtobipiracy did exist agaidtt the - public interest.—(Lowd cries of" Hear.") He believed that the fact was now, that the coal trade appointed the weighers, and appointed just as many as suited their own purposes—(Hear, hear)—but he was also of opinion that the aldermen had it in their power to appoint any additional weighers they might consider neces sary, and that they might do anything else towards facili tating the bu.;iness which they might deem necessary. Mr. DrxoN--I do not believe there is any such thing as a conspiracy existing in London. I cannot say anything as to the course of proceedings adopted in the North, but with respect to the coal-factors and others engaged in the coal trade in the metropolis, I know them to be as honourable men as can be found.—(Hear.) Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR said that, according to the state ment of Mr. Galloway, the Court of Aldermen had the power to order the appointment of weighers if there ap peared to be a deficiency. He (Mr. Taylor) understood that the Court of Common Council had no power at all in the case. They could refer the matter to a Committee, however, who might report what was best to be done. The petition was then, upon the motion of the LORD MAYOR, referred to the Coal and Corti and Finance Committee. THE NEW CITY POLICE. Alderman VENABLES brought up the Report of the Committee upon the Watch and Police Act, which re commended that the superintendant to be appointed by the Court should have a salary of 400/. a year, and detailed the important duties of that officer. In the course of the discussion Mr. Whithair, the pre sent able Superintendent, was frequently alluded to as the individual upon whom the appointment ought to devolve. Some Members spoke of advertising for candidates, while others ridiculed such a course as mere humbug, calculated to put gentlemen who might suppose there was a chance of success from the apparent sincerity of the advertisement to unnecessary trouble and expense. Finally the Report of the Committee was agreed to, and the election was appointed to take place on Thursday. After some further business the Court adjourned. THE LATE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONe+ Since the apprehension of Desire Rouselle, the man sus pected of having fired at and wounded the " Duke of Normandy," at Camberwell, it is considered a very singu lar circumstance that the pistols with which the attempt was made have not been found. Rouselle's lodging at the Crown, P ec kh am , as we ll as other places, have been searched, but nothing found to indicate that he had been concerned in the atrocious attempt for which he was taken into custody. Since his apprehension he denies that he had been condemned to death in France for the part he had taken in the affair of the Du3hess of Berri, although he particularly mentioned the circumstance to Monsieur Le Barre when he first applied for assistance to the Duke of Normandy.
